Hi, I’m Nina. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Diego, CA, and I want to help you live your good life.

What is getting in the way of that good life? Are you feeling depressed, anxious, stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, shame spirals, or catastrophizing?

I believe in your capacity to change.

I offer online therapy in San Diego and throughout California for adults who are wanting to go within and embrace a new way of being.

My primary goal is to support you in being your authentic self. It’s not easy to look within, to slow down, to ask hard questions. I know it takes incredible strength and vulnerability to do this work.

If you are curious or have more questions, let’s chat.

I work best with individuals who relate to the following:

  • Anxiety
  • Uncontrollable worry or rumination
  • Depressed mood
  • Are highly sensitive
  • Have a harsh inner voice/mean self-talk
  • The tendency to blame oneself when things go wrong
  • Either very rigid boundaries or very poor boundaries
  • Engage in unhealthy coping skills
  • Lack confidence, lack self-trust
  • Feel guilt, shame, or embarrassment easily
  • Post-trauma symptoms

Healing means being able to authentically engage with our world.

I offer therapy sessions online to adults in San Diego and throughout California.

In order to heal, we must be willing to look at all the ways our life isn’t the way we want it to be: from thoughts, to beliefs, to feelings, to actions, to habits, to situational factors.

Usually at the core of dysfunction, we are holding onto a belief about ourselves or the world which feels limiting or oppressive.

Working with both mind and body is essential for uprooting and changing these beliefs, leading to new behaviors, and ultimately, to new relationships with ourselves, others, and the world.

In addition to talk therapy, I use a myriad of techniques such as meditation, self-compassion practices, and guided imagery to help you heal.
